Why Set Goals?

The research is clear: People who set goals are more successful.

Business owners make more profit, professors get tenure faster, employees get larger raises, even students learn up to 250% faster when goals are set for them far, far more than if they are merely told to 'do their best.'

We are humans and we can think in future terms. Animals don't set goals, because they can't. We can certainly choose to not set goals, but then we would be wasting a true gift given only to us humans.

If you ever dream about a better future and want to achieve success, here are some great reasons why you want to set goals.

The trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never score.— Bill Copeland

Live by design and on purpose

We can live our life either by design, or by chance. As famous success philosopher Jim Rohn put it, "If you don't design your own life, chances are you'll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they planned for you? Not much." People living with no goals rarely have any purposes. Without purposes, what’s the point of living?

Gain focus and live life to the fullest

No matter how long you live, you only have limited time in this world. By setting goals and deciding what’s important and what isn’t, you can focus your life on things that are truly valuable. You will make the most out of your time and have the best chance at living a full life.

Key trait of all successful people

Strong goal setting and action taking skills are one of the few key secrets shared among all high achievers, such as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Winfrey Oprah, J.K. Rowling and many others. Not everyone will be successful by just setting a goal, but without goals, no one can achieve great success in anything.

If you don’t believe in setting goals, then you probably have done it in the wrong way. Here are a few common mistakes people tend to make in goal setting and how avoiding these mistakes you will realize the true power of goal setting in making dramatic changes in your life.

If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much. - Jim Rohn

What Most People Do Wrong With Goals

Set the wrong goals – We fail more in setting the wrong goals than reaching the right ones. Many of our goals are un-SMART, meaning they are not specific, not measurable, unachievable, unrealistic or not time-bound. Our goals may not be compelling enough, un-motivating or too beyond our control. It’s not goal setting that we should give up on, but rather the wrong ways we set goals.

Poor planning, vague and non-actionable or no plans at all – Setting a goal isn’t very hard, but what’s hard is coming up with plans that work. Oftentimes we adopt plans that might work for others but not necessarily for us. Because everyone is different so we need to create plans that suit us and reach goals in our own way.

Lack of follow-up and can’t stick – Most of our failings can be attributed to lack of consistent and persistent action taken for as long as it is required. The bigger the goal, the higher the demand will be for consistency and perseverance. We often underestimate obstacles and efforts required, but overestimate our willpower and motivation to follow through.

It's not easy to avoid making these mistakes, but that doesn’t mean there is nothing we can do to increase our chances. Every mistake or failure has a hidden solution and once we recover and apply it, we will be able to achieve any goal we want.

Next you will learn the seven scientifically researched and proven strategies that you can use to not only avoid making the most common mistakes in achieving goals, but also discover new ways and build your personal power to realize your dreams.

Scientifically Proven Strategies for Achieving Goals

A. Write it down

According to a study done by Dr. Gail Matthews, a psychology professor at Dominican University in California, you are 42% more likely to achieve your goals just by writing them down. Or interpret it this way: if you set two goals that you often failed in the past, start writing them down this time. With everything else being equal, same amount of effort, motivation, discipline, etc., you will most likely achieve at least one of the two. To make it work even better, write it down repeatedly.

B. Create a concrete plan

A study in the British Journal of Health Psychology found that 91% of people who planned their intention to exercise by writing down when and where they would exercise each week ended up following through, while only 35% achieved the same result relying on just motivation. Many similar studies have come to the same conclusion: if we clearly state when and where we are going to take the action, we are much more likely to stick to our goal.

C. Track your time and action

According to a study published on Harvard Business Review, the most significant factor that influences our motivation to reach goals is a sense of seeing the progress. If you look back on any accomplished goal, except for external factors, your achievement is simply the sum of total time you spent and action you took toward reaching that goal. Track your time and your action would be the same as tracking your progress, even though you may not feel you are making real progress. This simple shift in mindset will help you stick to the process and persevere until your goal is accomplished.

D. Hold yourself accountable

In Dr. Gail Matthews’ study, people who have a supportive partner to report progress and hold them accountable score the highest on the overall goal achievement chart. No matter what goals you want to achieve, having an accountability partner or joining in an accountability group or program can help you accelerate your performance, keep you engaged and responsible for your actions, and provide you with valuable feedback and constructive advice.

E. Build habits

Citing many scientific studies, the popular book The Power of Habits teaches us how habits form our behavior and achieve success both in life and business. When we turn our goals into habits, we put our accomplishment on autopilot. Once the habits are firmly established, we don’t really have to focus on them much. Whatever goal that has transformed into habits will simply achieve itself on its own. How wonderful is that!

You are more likely to achieve worthwhile goals if you have good habits. Illustrating this, a 2007 study suggested that we're not motivated by goals alone. In fact, once we've decided upon a goal, we're more motivated – on a day-by-day basis – by the habits that we have set up to reach it, than by the goal itself.

We're also motivated by reflecting on our progress towards our goals. A 2010 study reinforced this: here, researchers monitored people who were trying to form better eating habits. They found that those who were encouraged to reflect on how they were doing, and who adjusted their habits accordingly, were ultimately more successful.

F. Keep goal journal

A study published in the journal Psychological Science showed that women who wrote about their values in a journal every night lost on average 3.4 pounds in four months while women who didn’t journal gained weight. Keeping a journal for your goals not only helps you reach them, but also provides many benefits such as reducing stress, solving problems, gaining insights and even increasing memory and happiness.

G. Visualize both outcome and process

According to research in brain patterns, visualization helps with your goal attainment. It works because neurons in your brains interpret imagery as equivalent to a real-life action, and then primes your body to act in a way consistent to what you want to achieve. By imagining the detailed mental picture of your desired outcome, and visualize each of the action steps necessary to reach that outcome, your brain will help you make positive and behavioral change that is needed to accomplish your goals.

Wouldn't it be great if there is a system that integrates all of these proven goal strategies in a holistic approach you can use to achieve your goals?

What People Say About GoalsOnTrack

Without question, this is the most robust goal-setting program of the bunch. It allows you to record the goal, the purpose (in my terminology, key motivations), start date, end date, metrics, subgoals, habits, and action plans... I particularly like it because it allows you think plan hierarchically, which is how my brain works.

For me, one of the biggest challenges in meeting any goal, whether it be related to productivity, waking early, changing a habit, exercising, or just becoming happier, is finding the motivation to stick with it.
GoalsOnTrack allows me to monitor and track my goals related performance.This helps to keep me motivated and focused!

Goals On Track is brilliant with its ability to be flexible. It is so simple and easy to re-order goals, change dates on tasks, put goals on the 'back burner' and edit tasks. The program is very simple to use and when something crops up in life, like the flu, you don't have to delete everything and start again with your planning.

I just started using the vision board feature of the Goals on Track and I love the feeling of watching the slide show of the pictures of my goals. It really motivates me to keep focused. The new ability to upload my own music sounds cool, although I do like the music that was included on the site. I'll have to experiment with some of these new features. I appreciate the continual improvements.

It is simply genius. Your program is something I've been searching for for some time. I tried to use planhq to track and monitor my goals, but it is designed purely for business and does not track or measure personal goals. I bought your program to test and immediately knew that it would be with me for a long time. Although I am extremely focused I never really found anything that could map the plan of my brain like this program. Although I love the goals page by far the most valuable to me is the habits function. To be able to track and monitor my yoga and exercise plans, for example, is really valuable and with a busy multidimensional life seeing clients, writing books, and keeping track of an international business, this program by far outweighs my expectations. It is such a great support for the new book I am writing. I start my new group of clients in a couple of weeks and I will be recommending the program to support their transformation process.

... and a few more things ...

1. Goal Templates

Don't know what goals to set or where to start? No problem! Take advantage of our professionally made goal templates, each with detailed and customizable action plans. Simply adopt a template and make a few changes, then your goal is ready to go. Or create your own templates and reuse them to accomplish similar or recurring goals.

2. Sub Goals

The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your long, complex, overwhelming goals into small, manageable chunks, or sub goals. GoalsOnTrack allows you to break down a main goal into smaller or shorter term sub goals, and track your progress at both levels automatically.

3. Add Accountability Partners

Add people to hold you accountable for your shared goals. They will get notified whenever you make any progress. Flexible options can be turned on and off. Commit yourself fully so that there is no turning back. Show your achievements to the world. You can selectively share only goals you wish to share while keeping others private.

4. Sync with Your Favorite Calendars

See your goals and tasks in your favorite calendar tools, such as Outlook, Google Calendar, Yahoo Calendar, Mac’s iCal etc. You can also import tasks from Outlook and export them into CSV files to share with other programs.

5. Day Planner Printout Sheet

Print out a Day Planner sheet with all your active goals and tasks for today. Take it with you wherever you go. You can check off your to-do list and make notes and always know you are making progress without using the software.

Quick Steps to Get Started

To make the most of the program, it’s very important that you follow a specific set of steps to get started. These steps are divided into 3-day activities. Each day you need about only 30 minutes or so to complete the steps. Do not try to do more than what is assigned for the day. If you can successfully follow the 3-day plan, you will benefit from at least 80% of what the program offers.

The “DAY 0” is the same day when you just join the program. You may combine it with DAY 1, but not required. You can start the program the second day, or schedule a special date to officially get started with your goals.

Bonus #4: Power Through Repose

Annie Payson Call

This increase of emotion has not always nervous fatigue as an excuse. Many people have inherited emotional magnifying glasses, and carry them through the world, getting and giving unnecessary pain, and losing more than half of the delight of life in failing to get an unprejudiced view of it. If the tired man or woman would have the good sense to stop for one minute and use the power which is given us all of understanding and appreciating our own perverted states and so move on to better, how easy it would be to recognize that a feeling is exaggerated because of fatigue, and wait until we have gained the power to drop our emotional microscopes and save all the evil results of allowing nervous excitement to control us.
